On Meeting with an Ex Lover

Right before dusk
Orange sun shimmer
As feather sheets of time
Rest upon my thumb
Flicker past pages
Of a book I cannot read
....

I glimpse vendors, of paper rolled
Roses redolent
With the warm fragrance of the sea
I buy two for my friend
To whom i once confessed ; I too
Carry the sea within me
....

Offer more I closed my eyes
Dream back days of quickening
Salty nights as blood raced, hear
Only echoes of desires
The longing of my secret storms
In all unguarded moments
You swallow me whole
As my belly furled like wild waves
Casting streaks of white light
Like bruises on an indigo sky
....

Sighing
I weigh my breath
Slight as a pulse
Now wary of everything
Shadows conspire to find me
Remembering
How we once cavorted paper-cut
Dolls dancing in synergy
Clasped
In aberration to fate
I keep silent vigil
Intent on that corner door
Through the haze of cigarette smoke
I see you as before
Freshly arrived
Smelling of flannel and
Sex on the beach
....

"Who are you?" I ask, and
Dizzy with love, you cant answer.

Sighing
I weigh my breath
Slight as a pulse
Now wary of everything
Shadows conspire to find me

I liked the third stanza the best...from now on i'll be the first to comment on your poems

 

[Frustrated]

I've never before this had a jolt of endorphines while reading a poem
